Blessing
Some years ago there was discovered, on a wall in the Palace of the Caesars in Rome, a crude picture probably scribbled by a slave-boy more than 1,700 years ago. It represents a man with the head of an ass, crucified on a Roman Cross, being worshipped by a young boy. The inscription, roughly scrawled in Greek, is ' Alexamenos worships his God.' This caricature was obviously intended as an insult to the early Christians. The interlude today is an attempt to reconstruct the-sort of story that must lie behind it.
